How to make it keto
Explicitly request no high-carb sides (rice, farofa, fries, bread, corn), and confirm no sugary marinades or sauces are used on the meats. Opt for plain grilled vegetables if available, ensuring they are low-carb options.
Say this to the waiter (Portuguese)
Sem arroz, farofa, batata frita, pão ou milho. Confirme que não usam marinadas ou molhos doces. Quero vegetais grelhados low-carb.
No rice, farofa, fries, bread, or corn. Confirm no sugary marinades or sauces. I'd like plain grilled low-carb vegetables, please.
Watch out for
Hidden sugars in some sausage varieties or marinades; high-carb side dishes are standard. Be wary of sweet glazes on some grilled items (e.g., honey-glazed pork ribs, though less common in traditional churrasco).
